humblefisherman Posted December 11, 2010 Posted December 11, 2010 Hello Friends, More time out of the cold has enabled the production of another of my archived adventures. Midge Clusters at dusk is from one of the many midgy evenings on the city section of the Bow River. This was an exceptional evening for the dry fly, and the fish jumped like crazy due to the shallow riffles i pulled them from. Hope you enjoy the lastest edition to the Humblefisherman series.

jdangler Posted December 12, 2010 Posted December 12, 2010 Great video, Thanks, but winter is longer now. Quote
Crogg Posted December 12, 2010 Posted December 12, 2010 "See you later, old pig!" Uh huh, that was awesome, thanks Quote
Bandi Posted December 12, 2010 Posted December 12, 2010 Another cool episode of the Humblefisherman saga. I was almost sure at the beginning that you were hooking grayling. They dance on the water and known for fighting till the end. Looks like you got some browns on steroids! Fun to watch and soothing the mind (the river here is frozen). Quote
FraserN Posted December 12, 2010 Posted December 12, 2010 I have fished that pool many times. Mostly, the browns I get are like those, only on streamers and some nymph. Never had much luck on the dry fly there. Nice to see the surface midge action. Great video! Quote
beedhead Posted December 12, 2010 Posted December 12, 2010 Right on!!...Nice Browns... Cheers...Jeff.. Quote
darrinhurst Posted December 13, 2010 Posted December 13, 2010 Awesome as always Jay. Keep up the good work! Only 6 more months until run off! Quote
Timo Posted December 13, 2010 Posted December 13, 2010 Thanks for posting that. It's always great to see your fishing adventures! Cheers Tim Quote
humblefisherman Posted December 14, 2010 Author Posted December 14, 2010 Thanks Guys! Those Bow River fish love the midges, on top as a dry, or below as a blood worm, some of my biggest fish are caught on midges each year. The warm windless evenings before mid april are the key for the dries. Quote
FraserN Posted December 14, 2010 Posted December 14, 2010 Thanks for the tip, because I will be hitting that pool in early april/11 for sure. I will tie up some midges and give them a try. Quote
Flyfisher Posted December 14, 2010 Posted December 14, 2010 Nice vid. One of those magic moments we fly fishers live for. Midges are the bread and butter for trout in many waters. BTW it looks like you have another fine dog. Thanks for taking some of the chill out of a long Canadian winter. cheers, from the other side of the divide. Quote
